I actually really enjoyed this. I'll admit, after going through 60+ games this jam we were kind of groaning at the idea of another game about throwing sticks into a fire, but this one benefited greatly from being simple and focused. The game does one thing, and does it pretty well, the loop of getting wood to expand the safe zone kept me compelled until the end. Also that DOS sound effect when rescuing a friend took me back in time to the early 90s, made me smile every time.
Finished with a score of 171.
